DISCUSSION

14

According to the Nevada Department of Corrections (“NDOC”) inmate database,

15

Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center. Plaintiff

16

has not filed an updated address with this Court. The Court notes that pursuant to

17

Nevada Local Rule of Practice IA 3-1, a “pro se party must immediately file with the

18

court written notification of any change of mailing address ... Failure to comply with this

19

rule may result in the dismissal of the action, entry of default judgment, or other

20

sanctions as deemed appropriate by the court.” Nev. Loc. R. IA 3-1. This Court grants

21

Plaintiff thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order to file his updated address

22

with this Court. If Plaintiff does not update the Court with his current address within

23

thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order, the Court will dismiss this action

24

without prejudice.

25

The Court denies the application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners (ECF

26

No. 3) as moot because Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. The Court now directs

27

Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner within thirty

28

(30) days from the date of this order or pay the full filing fee of $400.

1

Additionally, the Court denies as moot Plaintiff’s motion for disposition (ECF No.

2

4). Plaintiff’s civil rights complaint is in line for screening and will be screened in due

3

course.
